Mays (hamstring) returned to practice Monday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mays missed about three weeks of the preseason due to a hamstring injury, and finally seems to have recovered. Even with Aaron Jones (suspension) suspended two games, it's hard to imagine Mays carving out a notable offensive role behind Jamaal Williams (ankle) and Ty Montgomery in the backfield. Mays will compete for a depth role through the end of the preseason, and isn't a lock to make the 53-man roster.

Mays (hamstring) won't practice this week and is slated to miss Friday's preseason tilt against the Raiders as a result, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Mays' hamstring evaluation was not encouraging and the issue will continue to be a major roadblock in his quest to make the 53-man roster. With Jamaal Williams (ankle) and Aaron Jones (hamstring, suspension) limited this week, Ty Montgomery and Joel Bouagnon figure to see additional opportunities at running back heading into Week 3 of the preseason.

Head coach Mike McCarthy indicated Friday that Mays (hamstring) will be evaluated again Sunday, Michael Cohen of The Athletic Wisconsin reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mays has not practiced for a while as he continues to battle injuries, but the reevaluation Sunday should provide a little clarity on his status moving forward. When healthy, Mays is in the mix for a depth role at running back for the Packers, but continued absences could hurt his chances of securing a 53-man spot out of camp.

Mays (hamstring) didn't play in Thursday's preseason win over the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Despite sitting out for a second straight week, Mays saw his roster odds improve when Jamaal Williams left the game with an ankle injury. Williams doesn't believe the injury is serious, but it is another problem for a backfield that will already be missing Aaron Jones (hamstring, suspension) for the first two weeks of the season. Mays entered training camp competing for the No. 4 running back spot with Joel Bouagnon and Akeem Judd. The same battle may now lead to the No. 2/3 spot for the first week or two of the regular season.

Mays (hamstring) will not play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Titans, Michael Cohen of The Athletic Wisconsin reports.

EDGE Analysis

While it's possible Mays is being held out for precautionary reasons, the running back has nonetheless been out of commission for a week after injuring his hamstring in training camp in early August. Mays' next opportunity to see exhibition action is next Thursday against the Steelers.

Mays left Friday's practice with a hamstring injury, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

The severity of Mays' injury isn't clear, and thus it's hard to say when he'll be back on the field. The 2017 seventh-rounder is trying to stick as the No. 4 running back behind Ty Montgomery, Jamaal Williams and Aaron Jones.

Mays returned to the Packers' Week 17 loss to the Lions after suffering a shoulder injury, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, and finished the game with one carry for two yards and three receptions for no yards.

EDGE Analysis

The four touches upped Mays' total touches on the year to seven, as he played a bit role for the Packers in his rookie season. The team liked him enough to keep him on the roster all season, but he will be behind fellow rookie runners Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams on the depth chart moving forward, so he is going to have to compete to hold onto his spot in 2018.

Mays injured his shoulder during Sunday's game against the Lions and his return is questionable, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Packers are already thin at running back with Aaron Jones (knee) and Ty Montgomery (wrist) both sidelined, so Jamaal Williams is slated to see a majority of the reps out of the team's backfield for the remainder of Sunday's tilt. If Mays is able to return, it's unlikely he'd see many snaps on offense with Williams at full health.

Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said Wednesday that Aaron Jones' (knee) expected absence for the season finale against the Lions would likely open up snaps for Mays, Michael Cohen of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

When Jones missed the first of two games earlier this season with a similar injury to his other knee, Mays, who hadn't logged an offensive snap through the Packers' first nine contests, stepped into the top backup role behind lead runner Jamaal Williams. Mays was almost immediately phased out of the offense after drawing the opportunity, however, as he took three carries for minus-1 yard and lost a fumble in a November loss to the Ravens before the Packers leaned even more heavily on Williams. It's still expected that Williams will dominate the backfield touches in Week 17, but Mays projects to get at least a couple carries as the Packers look to assess whether or not the Utah State product is a fit for the roster heading into 2018.

Mays didn't play any snaps on offense in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Steelers, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After fumbling on his first two NFL carries the previous week, Mays was merely active in case Jamaal Williams suffered an injury. The Packers used fullback Aaron Ripkowski on some passing downs to give Williams a breather. With Williams doing solid work and Ty Montgomery (ribs) potentially nearing a return, Mays doesn't figure to get much work, if any, in Week 13 against Tampa Bay.
